Danish midfielder Christian Eriksen has penned a two-year contract with VfL Wolfsburg, embarking on his first Bundesliga adventure after his Manchester United deal ended this summer.
The 33-year-old playmaker said he's thrilled to step into German football: 'Wolfsburg is my first club in the Bundesliga – I'm really looking forward to this new adventure. I'm convinced we can achieve something together at Wolfsburg.'
With 310 Premier League appearances under his belt, Eriksen brings a wealth of experience from spells at Ajax, Tottenham (2013-2020), Brentford and AC Milan.
Wolfsburg sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz highlighted Eriksen's impact: 'In Christian Eriksen, we're getting a player who has seen and experienced everything at the highest level. His quality and leadership will be a valuable boost for our young squad.'
This transfer reflects the Bundesliga's growing pull for international stars and its ability to connect global fans through top-tier football.
Eriksen's journey also embodies resilience. After collapsing during Denmark's Euro 2021 opener, he returned to top-flight football equipped with an implantable defibrillator that monitors his heart rhythm.
As Wolfsburg prepares to host Cologne on Saturday, all eyes will be on Eriksen's Bundesliga debut – and on how his creativity will reshape the team's midfield dynamics.
